“‘Mayan Renaissance’ tells four thousand years of Mayan history, from the Mayan point of view. This is a story that has never been told.” Mayan Renaissance will be shown on October 3 and we will be showing the same film in Spanish on October 5th.

The second film in our series will be Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child; “Director Tamra Davis pays homage to her friend in this definitive documentary.”
